NEWT THE MOON

I got stuck in a videogame rut and my backlog was too great and I needed to clear some room on the drive so I played some J-Stars VS+ because I bought it aeons ago and thought I was savvy and capable of finding the gem in the mongol waste and goddamn after an hour and a half I am cleansed of mind and soul and ready to play actual video games again. Holy poo poo, what a wreck that was.

System recalibrated. Let's go.

I have, and I would, but Tuesday is my night out. I'll look into it though, given the update.

Yeah I don't mean literally Tuesday, that just when I heard the the new coop mode mifht be dropping. It's a great game though. I bought it on sale to get 15 bucks for spending a 100, but after playing the 8 hour single player and 10 hours of mp so far, I would gladly have paid full price.

I was going to play some Horizon new game plus last night but I saw there is to be DLC called the frozen wilds! Is there a release date for it? I think I might wait until it is out before I play again.

Instead, because I only had an hour or so, I played a bit of rogue legacy and good heavens I forgot how much simple fun that was.

Theres a lot of audiobooks in youtube, legal because the books are old, + youtube app => you can play books in the PS4.

There's an option in the menu to always keep a selected persona as your primary equipped one, you should enable that. The most dangerous time is when you get ambushed and you have a weak persona equipped, so if you keep a no-weakness one in your primary that will help things

I have played Persona 3, 4 multiple times and have 200 hours into persona 5.

It's not an option in 3 or 4, only in 5. So it's not as bad as you thought.

From what I've heard the only similarity is has to the book is that it uses the same name.

That would be a dramatic improvement, for once.
I would still rather it was as close to 1:1 as possible so everyone could know what a piece of poo poo it is and never mention it again.

They did not (e: they did patch it quite some time ago, but that only made it worse). Their complete silence in the matter is inexcusable.

Prey is a great game that rewards you proportionally to what you put into it but it is definitely something I could only recommend on PC after all that's been said. Luckily it is super well optimized so you don't need a great computer to run it at 60.

Didn't dishonored 2 have issues with the console versions as well? Seems to be a running theme with arkane.

It ran absolutely horribly on launch, and regardless of how it's patched, it's absurd what a botch the game has been.

Dishonored 2 had massive optimization issues on PC too.

It was a mess in general before patches (mouse sensitivity inversely proportional to frame rate wtf) but I remember reading about issues with its console controls specifically as well.

Knack seems like a NES game that has escaped to the modern age, the only reason it's hard is so you can't beat it in an hour and all you do is walk forwards and hit things.

You're talking about turning Persona Memory off, right?

Also a real question, can I delete individual items of DLC? I downloaded the Christmas set for Persona 5 and it shows as installed, but I can't pick it up from the attic. All the other DLC works fine. Can't figure out how to redownload it either.
